March 17, 2014 7:14 PM Krauthammer's Take: Obama Is Being 'Ridiculed by Russians' By NRO Staff
President Obama has thus far responded tepidly to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, targeting only several individuals in Russia for sanctions and providing Ukraine with rations as opposed to the arms it requested. Because of Obama’s rhetoric and policy, Charles Krauthammer said the president is being “ridiculed by Russians.”
“If he thinks that sanctioning seven Russians out of a population of, what, 150 million is a sanction, he’s living in a different world,” Krauthammer said. Instead we should be sending Ukraine weapons, something the administration denied because it thinks “somehow to arm the victim of aggression is a provocation,” Krauthammer explained.
The idea that such small, targeted sanctions will work is “preposterous,” Krauthammer said. “This really is a humiliating response by a president who can’t even get the Europeans to join him in effective sanctions.”
go plan another vacation, that's where you excel.
Well, he’s gonna unfriend them on Facebook as well.

If he sends the freedom lovers in Ukraine small arms to fight tyranny then the freedom lovers in the USA will want to keep theirs for the same reason.
Can’t have that.
You have to assume this is not in fact real sanctions but instead an approval of the invasion designed to not look like an approval.
I understand, that as I write,
John Kerrie, the Frenchman, has
his most dangerous pen in his hand,
yet he is flummoxed as to how boldly
he should write, whilst awaiting a
cable from Zer0 once he cleans up,
after a session with Reggie,
since there was snow on his golf course!
Putin has your bony ass twisted into whatever he wants.
Krauthammer is McCain without the subtlety. I am sick of these statist warmongers.
C’mon Man! Even Jimmy Carter never resorted to outright theft of the assets of individuals.
I don’t know what else you can call it. So what if they are nasty little oligarchs. They aren’t liable for what their government does in an official action.
“....targeting only several individuals in Russia for sanctions....”
.
All that these individuals have to do is whip out their pocketbooks and make contributions to the right US congress critters and WH and the ban will be lifted.
I spoke to a friend today in the UK and he said Obama is regarded there as a very weak leader. Rock star image gone. The only surprise is how long it took.
And, Putin is now the leader of the tyrannical world.
Putin is putting together a new Evil Empire and forging a new Axis with fellow Tyrants. Lord help us if they go on the march. Alaska many well, go back to Russia, Guam to China.
To quiet Sarah Palin they might let it go to the Russian Federation.
If Putin really wanted to get Obama’s panties in a twist he would abound that he is not afraid of Obama’s phone or his pen.
Perhaps we’re funneling arms to them via the US Embassy?
Did I read that correct?
Damn statists!!! Free marijuana for everyone! Elect Ron Paul president! Elect Rand Paul president!! Elect both president!!
